Five Days in March is the prestigious Kishida Kunio Drama Award-winning play
by
Toshiki Okada. In the days before the U.S. declares war on Iraq in March
2003, two Japanese urban hipsters meet at a rock concert and are
swept into a one-night stand that turns into five days of
continuous sex. Oblivious to the imminent invasion, the
slackers obsess over the details of their love affair. The
piece unfolds as actors slip in and out of character while casually
narrating and playing out scenes. The groundbreaking and
modern work of
chelfitsch Theater Company has made it one of Japan's most talked-about theater
companies in recent years. Characterized by deceptively
insubstantial narrative, super-colloquial dialogue, and exaggerated
fidgeting-turned-choreography, the work perfectly captures the
irony and impotence felt by the Generation Y in Japan today.
